Tibor Digana commented on SUREFIRE-329:
---------------------------------------

Hi guys,
I have working fix for this issue perhaps one month. How this can be provided?
I had to update org.junit.experimental.categories.Categories.

The user needs to pass two properties (or one of them at least) via the Maven surefire plugin namely:
org.junit.categories.included
org.junit.categories.excluded

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.6</version>
    <configuration>
        <systemPropertyVariables>
            <org.junit.categories.included>org/IRelationalDB.java</org.junit.categories.included>
            <org.junit.categories.excluded>org/IRunWithMySQL.java</org.junit.categories.excluded>
        </systemPropertyVariables>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Both properties are in plural because the java classes can be separated by colon.
Inheritance of the types in the categories are also working fine.

> The JUNIT EXTENSION URL:

> We would like to specify the categories to run via a configurable option in the maven surefire plugin that supports JUNIT extensions
> See example Java Code: The following runs only tests with Category - Z.
>          //In JUnit4
>         JUnitCore core = new JUnitCore();
>         // use for categories special listener, give some statistics
>         core.addListener(new CategoryTextListener(System.out));
>         Request req = Request.aClass(SpcfXXXXTest.class);
>         core.run(req.filterWith(new CategoryFilter("Z")));
